Chapter 2Out of everyone in the church, she never expected to see her best friend standing among the people laughing at her.Seeing that she had been caught, Raya quickly put on an apologetic face. "Oh my God, Alina!"She hurried over and knelt beside her."I'm so sorry."She reached out to brush the dust from Alina's wedding dress.“I didn't mean to trip you, Alina! It was an accident !” Raya gasped, looking deeply concerned.Alina remained silent. Raya continued cleaning the dirt from the white wedding dress."I saw one of those bullies walking toward you," she explained with a forced sob, though her eyes remained completely dry. "She looked like she wanted to humiliate you again, so I stretched out my leg to stop her. I never thought you would be the one to trip. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."Alina looked into her friend's eyes and saw nothing but guilt. Or at least… That was what she believed.“It's okay, I believe you,” Alina said, gently tapping her friend's cheek with a pl

​Chapter 4Later that evening, Alina sat alone on her favourite seat in the balcony outside her bedroom, rested her arms on the railing and stared at the darkening sky as countless thoughts filled her mind.Her marriage to Bryce was over. No matter how much Beatrice Roth begged her to fix things with him, she had already made up her mind she was done. For five years, she had always been the one apologizing, forgiving, and fighting to keep their relationship alive. Bryce had never done the same for her.She was tired of begging him to love her.She was tired of trying to prove that she was enough.After everything that had happened at the church, she finally accepted the truth.Bryce had never loved her. ​And he was never going to love her anyway.His heart had always belonged to Victoria Ashford, his beautiful childhood friend. An actress a lot of men were dying to have in their life.Alina knew she could never compete with her in Bryce's heart. She thought about running away to an

Chapter 6 The grand ballroom sparkled beneath magnificent crystal chandeliers. Every polished floor, golden decoration, and expensive piece of furniture reflected wealth and perfection. A soft melody filled the room as influential businessmen, celebrities, and wealthy families enjoyed Bryce Damian's birthday celebration. Then Alina and Raya walked through the entrance, holding hands like inseparable lovers. Almost immediately, every conversation stopped. Alina looked around with a hopeful smile and noticed that all eyes immediately turned toward them, guests staring with their mouths slightly open. At first, Alina thought they were admiring her outfit. She wore a simple, elegant navy-blue dress that fitted her curvy figure perfectly. Her matching heels, handbag, and jewelry blended perfectly with the dress. As a talented excellent stylist, she had always known how to dress elegantly to steal glances in every gathering she walked into. But it wasn't her dress the

Chapter 8At the hospital, Bryce sat beside Victoria's bed, staring at her beautiful, calm face. She looked peaceful enough to be sleeping, but she was still pretending to be in unbearable agony.Every now and then, she would wince dramatically and shift beneath the blankets, as though even the slightest movement sent waves of pain through her body.Then she slowly reached for Bryce's hand and squeezed it weakly."Bryce..." she whispered, her voice trembling with feigned pain. "You have to make sure Alina pays with her life for doing this to me!"Her fingers tightened around his hand as she stared at him through tear-filled eyes."Do whatever you have to do, Bryce. I don't care how far you have to go. Even if it means wiping her entire family off the face of the earth, make sure they pay for what she did to me tonight."Her voice grew colder despite the weakness she was pretending to feel."Make her regret the day she ever crossed me. I want her to lose everything, her family, her rep

Chapter 10Inside the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom, the soft hum of the engine filled the silence.Ashford looked at Alina through the rearview mirror before speaking.“I’ve heard a lot about you, Alina,” Ashford said, breaking the silence. “You’re talented, intelligent, and apparently very good at what you do. But somehow, whenever your name appears in the news, it is usually for something terrible just because of your relationship with Bryce.”Alina remained silent, anxiously twiddling her fingers in her lap. She knew exactly what he meant. For years, she had been dragged into rumors, insults, and body-shaming because of her relationship with Bryce. She had ignored everything because she loved him so much.“I also know you’re an excellent stylist and makeup artist. That was actually one of the reasons you were connected to the Damien family. Your work at their beauty pageants and modeling events attracted a lot of attention. Your styling made several of their events successful
